goodmorning moms. do anyone have a specific brand of cough medicine for infants? i have a 9 month old who has been taking Zarbee's for about 3-4 days & nothing has changed.
@queendope, I remember when it was banned my oldest was a toddler and it was because too many people who overdosing their kids on it and kids were dying smh, I’ve never given any of my kids it so I don’t know how well it ever worked. Get a humidifier if you haven’t already though it will def help and some you can add a vicks or eucalyptus oil to help as well.
I don’t Medicate for cough for my kids or myself. We cough because it helps protect and clear our airways and lungs. Its also the way our body gets rid of foreign particles, irritants, microbes, mucus and bacteria, allergens from the throat. Coughing, by forcing air out of the lungs under high pressure, attempts to clear the throat so it’s productive for the body to do.
@queendope, really because in 2007 the fda found that cough syrup isn’t effective or safe. Zarbee’s is an all natural cough relief. But it’s not medication.
Cough medicine and Vick’s can be harmful before the age of 2. I’d call your pediatrician.
